Description
The Matte Sun Stick: Mugwort + Camelia is a solid sunscreen in a twist-up stick. Its main job is to make reapplication easy: you can glide it over skincare or makeup during the day without getting your hands messy.
Key ingredients
- Mugwort extract – a traditional Korean botanical associated with calming skin.
- Camellia extract – a nourishing plant ingredient.
- UV filters and oil-absorbing powders – for SPF50+ PA++++ protection with a matte, velvety finish.
Texture and finish
Transparent when applied, with a soft-matte, almost blurring finish that helps reduce shine on the T-zone.
Who it suits
Oily and combination skin, people who wear makeup, outdoor workers, athletes and travellers who need quick touch-ups. It is also handy for ears, the back of the neck and the hair parting.
How to use it
AM: you can use it as your main sunscreen by swiping several layers over the face, but most people apply a cream or fluid sunscreen first (for example Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh) and keep the stick for reapplication every two hours. Swipe 3–4 times on each area and pat lightly. PM: remove with Radiance Cleansing Balm or an oil cleanser.
Who should skip it
Very dry or flaky skin may find the matte finish emphasises dry patches. Avoid it if you react to chemical UV filters.
